What to Eat to Reduce Inflammation: #1 Gut Health Expert’s Food Guide
Your symptoms aren’t random.
What feels like a dozen separate issues – bloating, headaches, anxiety, fatigue, breakouts, hormone chaos – often comes back to one root source: the gut.
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Will Bulsiewicz to talk about chronic inflammation, nervous system dysregulation, diet culture, glyphosate, circadian health, trauma, and how we can completely transform our gut and overall well-being using simple, sustainable, evidence-backed tools.
We get into:
✨ Why nearly everyone today is inflamed – and what inflammation actually is
✨ How stress, loneliness, negativity, and online outrage activate your sympathetic nervous system and directly damage your gut
✨ The foods that calm inflammation instantly… and the ones that quietly fuel it
✨ The myth of “trigger foods,” the problem with extreme restriction, and why gut issues often aren’t about food at all
✨ The brain–gut connection, trauma, and why you often don’t heal until you address the emotional root
✨ A breakdown of Dr. B’s 3-phase protocol – and why healing doesn’t begin with food, but with your circadian rhythm
✨ The most powerful morning habit for gut health, metabolism, hormones, and energy
✨ The epidemic of loneliness, nervous system burnout, and how to shift back into parasympathetic “rest & digest”
✨ The surprising truth about gluten and nightshades (and why he refuses to demonize them)
✨ Why food abroad often feels better – plus the role of glyphosate and the U.S. food system
✨ Supplements that actually matter (and how to time them correctly)
✨ What your fatigue, bloating, rashes, brain fog, and hormone symptoms might really be telling you
